Just thinking

There are some things in our lives that we hold so close to our hearts that even whispering it would seems to loud. These things resemble the song of our lives that the lyrics are written out only as the days pass. Songs that speak of us feeling lonely, unloved, rejected and even the frowns that we have to turn over to resemble a smile.


It never ceases to amaze me the ability we have of taking on the personality of a Clown. We often act the part and live the life but never truly breathe. We live with so many people surrounding us, fighting as we do to see yet another day and yet no one seems to really live.

But why must we hide behind a façade? Is it that many of us just do not want to fess up to our own vulnerabilities? Or perhaps we look at the person next to us and think if they seem to have it all together why not me? It's a wonder how we are all able to function carrying around with so much emotional weight. We diet to feel well about ourselves and so that the world, that has created an image that's unrealistic and superficial, can view us in a positive way. Yet we neglect our inner self.


We can not wake up one day and decide today I will decide to be Molly, or Tanya, Bill or Ted and leave our own selves by the door. We are who we are and we must face our realities each on his/her own time and level. Let us be more real about the who, what, where, when, and how in our lives. We speak about God being an all knowing God and how we want Him to work in our lives but first we need to come to terms with getting to know our real selves, accepting and embracing ourselves and then entering a get-to-know you relationship with the Lord. How is it possible for us to want people in our lives, i.e. boyfriend, girlfriend, etc… when we are not even certain who we are and have a past burdened life? We are so willing to help others even though we need help. How can you move on when your past is begging for forgiveness?


We all want a revival. We all want youth filled with the power of God. We all want a new and powerful movement to take hold in our Churches, Schools, Home etc… but you have to face your reality. Aren't you tired of taking one step forward but then after a while you find yourself taking two steps back again?Let us be made over by the Carpenter of all Carpenters'.

Make an appointment today to enter into his workshop for a full maintenance check-up and finally give up clowning around.
